Byrd begins ad blitz
Well what's the use of having an early fund-raising advantage if you don't use it? So Johnnie Byrd goes ahead and but his ads on the air three months before the primary.
His slogan: "He's done it in Florida; he'll do it in Washington."
Hoo boy, given the past two messy years in Tallahassee that sounds more like a threat than a promise to me. But not to the Club for Growth, which is contributing to his campaign. (The Club has a pretty mixed record right now.)
Anyway, if you think this slogan is just a cheap joke and obvious sarcasm on my part, don't take my word for it, see the ads on Byrd's site.
Meanwhile four House members retract their Byrd endorsements and endorse the Bush administration's hand-picked candidate, Mel Martinez.
